Both Lee and Rengiil dropped to the consolation draw after the former faltered in her first round match in the main draw  and the latter was booted out in the second. Lee fell to the No. 16-ranked Claudia Ng of Hong Kong, 6-0, 6-3, while Rengiil won over Japan\u2019s Chisato Hayakawa, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 (6) before bowing to the second-seeded Ayumi Miyamoto, also of Japan, 0-6, 1-6.<\/p>\n<p>In the consolation draw, Lee had to eliminate two foes to set up a finals date with Rengiil. Lee first knocked of Australia\u2019s Hannah Matic, 4-0, 4-0, to march into the semifinals against Hong Kong\u2019s Avril Look. A 4-2, 4-0 triumph versus the Hong Kong bet gave Lee the finals berth in the lower bracket.  Rengiil, on the other hand, recorded victories against Fiji\u2019s Ruby Coffin, 4-2, 4-0, and Solomon Island\u2019s Georjemah Row, 1-4, 5-4 (8), 11-9, to gain the championship berth in the upper bracket and arrange a title duel against Lee.<\/p>\n<p>In the finals, Lee swept Rengiil, ending the match after one and a half hour\u2014the latter\u2019s longest game in the consolation draw. Lee took only 27 minutes to shut down Matic and 45 minutes to oust Look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CNMI\u2019s Carol Lee ruled the consolation draw in the girls singles division of the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":205337,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[4137,164,338,319],"class_list":["post-205332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-ayana-rengiil","tag-fiji","tag-hong-kong","tag-palau"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
